An inventory for the underground floor of Krema III
in Auschwitz, specifying the presence of 14 shower
heads (Brausen) and one gas-tight door (Gasdichtetür) in the gas chamber
(Leichenkeller 1). This room, sometimes referred to as a "gassing
cellar" in the SS-correspondence, had fake shower heads installed
to mislead the victims into believing they were going to be washed.
Leichenkeller 2 (referred to many times as an "undressing room"
in SS-correspondence), doesn't have a gas tight door neither shower
heads.
